Master of Science in Historic Preservation (36-credit option)

Ball State University

Imagine a cityscape that reflects a rich architectural past within a smart, sustainable future. Now, imagine you guided that effort a balance of historic preservation and best practices. Our master of science in historic preservation degree (MSHP) fuses your passion for the past with innovative approaches. Expert faculty guide you through hands-on, meaningful course work and projects that engage a wide variety of concerns. You’ll learn about community engagement, economic development, and urban policy that’s culturally and ecologically responsible. Our roots are in history and architecture, but when it comes to preserving the past, we also look toward tomorrow’s cities, small towns, and rural landscapes. Additionally, we consider questions of law, economics, landscape architecture, urban planning, and more. Our 36-credit option is designed for students with less experience in historic preservation. You can complete this degree in one calendar year (i.e. you take classes during the fall semester, spring semester, and summer semester).
